We are still right in the middle of asparagus season and I have been enjoying the asparagus every week. One of my favorite flavour combinations with asparagus is asparagus and mushrooms. I also really like a nice tangy goat cheese so when I saw a recipe for a breakfast casserole with asparagus, mushrooms and goat cheese on Kalyn's Kitchen I knew that I would have to try it when the asparagus was in season. The last egg breakfast casserole that I made had cottage cheese in and I really enjoyed it so I added it to this one as well. The asparagus, mushroom and goat cheese egg breakfast casserole was super easy to make and it turned out great. I really liked the way the asparagus, mushrooms and goat cheese were layered in the egg casserole. The goat cheese layer was of course on top so that as the casserole baked it got nice and golden brown and good. The juicy asparagus went well with the tangy goat cheese and the mushrooms rounded everything out. One of the things that I like about these egg breakfast casseroles is that the leftover keep well and they are just as good cold as they are after a minute or so in the microwave. This recipe easily makes 6 servings so I have tasty breakfasts to look forward to for the rest of the week.

Directions:1. Heat the oil in a pan.2. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5-10 minutes.3. Add the garlic, thyme and season with salt and pepper and saute until fragrant, about a minute and remove from heat.4. Spread the asparagus out evenly over the bottom of an 8 inch square baking dish.5. Spread the mushrooms and goat cheese over top.6. Mix the eggs and cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper.7. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.8. Bake in a preheated 375F oven until the eggs are firmly set and golden brown on top, about 20-30 minutes.

This picture is making me drool, lol. I'm trying to lose some weight though. I wonder if I can make it with just egg whites instead of the whole egg and forego the fat grams and cholesterol? Hmmmm....I'm going to try this coming wknd after I hit up the Farmer's Market for my weekly haul and some of that yummy asparagus. It looks fantastic!

surprisingly I don't care much for goat cheese, but I do keep trying it. I'm sure I can substitute that out for one of my favorite chesses b/c the dish looks wonderful and I do love asparagus and mushrooms. Glad you made this and shared it! Great photo showing off all the layers of yumminess!
